Fill Thou My Life, O Lord My God

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 97 hymnals Topics: Communion with Christ and God Lyrics: 1 Fill thou my life, O Lord my God, in ev'ry part with praise, that my whole being may proclaim thy being and thy ways. Not for the lip of praise alone, nor e'en the praising heart, I ask, but for a life made up of praise in ev'ry part: 2 Praise in the common words I speak, life's common looks and tones, in fellowship enjoyed at home with my beloved ones, enduring wrong, reproach, or loss with sweet and steadfast will, forgiving freely those who hate, returning good for ill. 3 So shall each fear, each fret, each care be turned into a song, and ev'ry winding of the way the echo shall prolong. So shall no part of day or night from sacredness be free, but all my life, in ev'ry step, be fellowship with thee. Scripture: Psalm 34:1 Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE

How oft when trials like sea-billows roll, Have i hidden in thee, O thou Rock of my soul! [Refrain] Scripture: Psalm 31:2 Used With Tune: HIDING IN THEE

Prayer is the Soul's Sincere Desire

Author: Rev. James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 856 hymnals Topics: Communion with Christ Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire. Unuttered or expressed, The motion of a hidden fire, That trembles in the breast. 2 Prayer is the burden of a sigh, The falling of a tear, The upward glancing of the eye, When none but God is near. 3 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath, The Christian's native air, His watchword at the gates of death; He enters heaven with prayer. 4 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice, Returning from his ways, While angels in their songs rejoice, And cry, "Behold, he prays!" 5 O Thou, by whom we come to God, The Life, the Truth, the Way, The path of prayer Thyself hast trod; Lord, teach us how to pray.

Let meekness be our morning ray, And faithful love our noonday light, And hope our sunset, calm and bright. 6 O Christ, with each returning morn, Thine image to our hearts is borne; O may we ever clearly see Our Saviour and our God in Thee! Amen. Used With Tune: WAREHAM
